help with printers

Sorry, but I haven't noticed such. Do you mean that thing that offers to sell you ink when low?

If you need one that does text along with a decent job on the photos, look at the iP4300 printer or the MP530 AIO or MP600 if you don't need the fax.

Individual cartridges, small droplet size, fast print, plus duplexing.

Its a shame that there's a bunch of s/w loaded when you install a new printer, but that's the way it is. Understand, that all such s/w can provide function for tasks you *may* want of the m/f printer as times goes on. You of course can(if applicable) de-install or reduce some functions. Those functions are to email any pictures, fax s/w, OCR s/w for scanning, and s/w for cropping & manupitation before printing, plus monitor s/w for ink levels and not to forget the drivers of the OS being used. There should also some management of any pictures and/or copied documents, etc.. Hope this helps in your quest.

May i suggest you look into the new Kodak 5xxx series of printers which offer reduced costs of ink, plus offer more permanent inks than usually provided from other vendors. Check out ther support website.
